EARXISG A HU E.
BY MARY GRACE 1MLPISE.
"And so you want to marry my
daughter, young man," said farmer
Blit'kin, removing the pipe from his
mouth, nnd looking at tho young fel
low sharply from head to toe.
Despite his rather indolent, effemi
nate air, which was mainly the result
of his education, Luke Jordan was a
fine looking fellow, and not easily
moved from his self-possession ; hut
he colored and grew confused beneath
that sharp, scrutinizing look.
"Yes, sir. I spoke to Miss Mary
hist evening, and slit refered mo to
you."
The old man's face softened.
".Molly is a good girl, n ivry good
girl," he said, stroking his chin with
a thoughtful air, "and she deserves a
good husband. What can yon do ?"
The young man looked rather blank
nt thisabrupt inquiry,
"If you rclcr to my ability to sup
port a wife, I can assure you "
"I know you are a rich man, Luke
Jordan, but 1 take it fur granted that
you asked my daughter to many you.
not your property. What guarantee
can you give me, in case it should be
swept away, as it is in thousands of in
stances, that you could provide for
her ft comfortable homo? You have
hands and brains do vou know how
to use them? Again i ask, what can
you dof"
This was a stile of catechism for
which Luke was quite unprepared,
and lie stared blankly tit the questions
without speaking.
"I believe you managed to get
through college have vou anv profes
sion !"
"Xo, sir; I thought "
"Have you any trade?"
No, sir; mv lather thought that with
the wealth I should inherit, I should
not need any."
"Your father thought like a fool,
then. He'd much better have given
you some honest occupation and cut
you oil' with a shilling it might have
been the making of you. As it is, what
are you fit for? Hero you are, a
strong, able bodied young man, twenty-four
years old, ami never earned
a dollar in your life! You ought to
be almond of yourself."
"And you want to marry my daugh
ter," resumed the old man idler a
few vigorous pull's at his pipe. "Xow
I've given Molly as good advantages
for learning as anv girl in town, and
she hasn't thrown 'cm away; but if
she didn't know how to work, she'd b
no daughter of mine. If 1 choose, I
could ke(j) more than one servant;
but I don t no more than I choose
that my daughter should be a pule spir
itless creature, full of dyspesia and all
manner of line lady ailments, instead
of the smiling, bright rosy-cheeked
lass she is. 1 did say that she should
marry no lad that had been cursed
with a rich father, but she's taken a
foolish liking to ye, ami I'll tell ye
what I'll do; go to work and prove
yourself to be a man; perfect yourself
in some occupation I doa'tcare what,
so it be honest; then come to me, and if
the girl is willing she is yours."
As the old man said tin's, he deliber
ately knocked the ashes out of his
pipe against the pillar of the porch
where lie wassilting, tucked it into his
vest pocket, and went into the house.
Pretty Miry lilifkins was waiting
to see her lover down at tho garden
gate, their usual trystiug place. The
smiling light liided from her eyes as
she noticed his sober, discomfited look.
"Father means well," she said, as
Luke told her the result of his appli
cation. And I'm not sure but what ho is
about right," she resumed after a
thoughtful pause, "for it seems to me
that every man, be he rich or poor,
ought to have some occupation."
Then, she noticed her lover's grave
look, she added softly;
"Never mind; I'll wait for vou
Luke."
Luke Jordan suddenly disappeared
from his accustomed haunts, much to
the surprise of his gay associates.
But whereevcr ho went, he carried
with him in his exile these words, and
which were like a tower of strength to
his soul, "I'll wait for you, Luke."
One pleasant,, sunshiny morning,
late in Oetolier, as farmer Blifkins
was proping up the grape vine in his
front-yard, that threatened to break
down with the weight of its luxurious
burdens, a neat looking cart drove up,
from which Luke Jordan alighted
with a quick, clastic spring, quite a
contrast to his formally easy leisurely
movements.
"Good morning, Mr. Blif kins. I
understood that you wanted to by some
butter-tubs and cider barrels. 1 think
I have some here that will just suit
you."
"Whose make are they ?" inquired
the old man, as, opening the gate, he
paused by the wagon.
"Mine," replied Luke, with an air
of pardonable pride ; "aud I ch al
lenge any cooper iu the State to beat
them."
Mr. Blifkins examined them criti
cally one by one.
"They'll do," he said, coolly, as he
set down the last of the lot. "What
will ve take for them ?"
"What I asked yon for six months
ago to-day your daughter, sir."
The roguish twinkle in the old
man's eyes Broadooed into a smile. I
FIRMNESS IX THE RIGHT
WAYMSiilUG, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, IS07.
"You've got the right metal in yon
after all," ho cried. "Come in, lad,
come in. I shouldn't wonder if we
made a trade, after all."
Nothing loth, Luke obeyed.
"-Molly 1" bawled Mr. Blifkins,
thrusting his head into tho kitchen
door.
Molly tripped out into the entry.
The round, white arms were bared
above tho elbows, ami bore traces of
the flour she had been sifting.
Her dress was neat gingham, over
which was tied a blue checked apron;
but she looked as winning and lovely
as she always did whenever sho was
found.
Sho blushed and smiled as she saw
Luke, and then, turning her eyes upon
her father, waited, dtititfully, to hear
what he had to say.
The old man regarded his daughter
for a moment with a quizzical look.
"Molly, this young man mayhap
you've seen him before has brought
me a lot of tubs and barrels, all of his
own-make a right good urticale, too.
He nks a pretty steep price for 'em;
but if you aro willin, to give it, well
and good; and hark ye, my girl' what
ever bargain you make your old Hither
will ratify." "
As Mr. Blifkins said this, he consi
derately steiuied out of the room, and
it
wo will follow his example. But the
kind of bargain the 3'oung people
made can readily be conjectured by the
speedy wedding that followed.
Luke Jordan turned his attention
to the study ofinedieiiip, of which pro
fession he became a useful and influen
tial member; but every year, on the an
niversary of his man-age, ho delights
his fiither-in-law by some specimen of
the handicraft by which he won what
he tier-lairs to be " the best tnd dearest
wile in the world."

A green-appearing genius, on his
first visit to this city, observed a sign
over a store, thus, "Wholesale and Re

through the crowd of ladies until he
faced one of the clerks, who was ex
hibiting some articles to a young lady,
when he broke out with
"Say, Mister, who's boss hero ?"
"The proprietor has just stepped
out, sir."
"Well, is this u re-tailing ship ?"
"Yes, sir. a wholesale and retail
store."
"Guess vou understand your trade."
"Oyes' replied the clerk, wrap
pingupa bundle for his lady custo
mer, "what can I do for you?"
"Well, as the cold weather is com
ing on, 1 thought I might as well come
and give vou a job."
"I don t understand you, sir," re
plied the clerk, who began to think
that the fellow was in the wrong box.
'"Zn.-Iys.jj well, I'll tell yon,"
"Explain what you mean, my
friend," said the clerk, as he saw liini
pnuhiee a bundle from under his coat.

AS GOD GIVES US TO SEE THE RIGHT. Lincoln,
THIS HA1LOH AM U Till! At TIIESS.
"When I was a poor girl," said tho
duchess of St. Albans, "working very
hard f jr my thirty shillings a week, I
went down to Liverpool during tho
holidays, where I was always kindly
received. I was to perform in a new
piece, a pretty little affecting drama ;
and in my character I represented a
poor, frieudluBS orphan girl, reduced to
the most wretched poverty. A heart
less tradesman prosecutes tho sad he
roine for a heavy debt, and insists on
putting her in prison, unless someone
will be bail lor her. iho girl replies,
"Then I hav-J no hope, I have not a

one be bail fir you to save you from
lirison? asks the stern creditor. "I
have told you I have not a friend on

was uttering the words, I saw a sailor
in tho upper gallery, springing over
the railing, letting himself down from
one tier to another, until he bounded
clear over tho orchestra, and foot
lights, nnd placed himself beside me
in a moment. "Yes, you shall have
one friend, nt least, my poor young

The Trial or J n'. Until
Iiirh.
Line of Proceed-
Richmond, October 7. The fol
lowing facts relative to the coming
trial of Jell'. Davis are from tho best
authority : Tho trial is set for the
fourth Monday of November, and as
the Government will not interfere,
there will be no postponement by coun
sel on cither side. The ollense of
levying war against the United States
will bo testified to by Judge Scarbor
ough, of Xorfolk, J on. John Good,
member of the Confederate Congress,
and Captain Henderson, who were
compelled to appear before tho Xor
folk Grand Jury and testify to the
facts upon which the indictment was
made. Thero will be very few if any
witnesses for the defense. The f let of
levying war Icing admitted, the prose
cution will thfii proceed with the legal
argument that the prisoner is guilty of
treason, and counsel for the defense
will argue that he being a citizen of a
State and under its law, a prior alle
giance was due to it, not to tho United
States. It has been positively assert
ed that Judgo Chase would preside,
but as the Supreme Court commences
its session on the first Monday of De
cember, this is not possible. The trial
is expected to fast several weeks,
How to Have Mealy Potatoes.
We find the following credited to
the CrVntriufoiri Telegraph: It is a
very common thing in the Spring to
find strong, watery potatoes on the
table, unless care has been taken to
select and preserve them. A poor
potato is the poorst article of food that
can be had ; ns soon as they begin to
sprout they will begin to grow poor
and watery, the bettor part of the root
going to the support of sprouts; hence,
to have mealy nice potatoes, it is ne
cessary to keep them from exhausting
themselves in this way. An exchange
gives the following method of prevent
ing tho potatoes from sprouting, which
we hope will be tried and approved :
Take good, sound potatoes and place
theiu in a tub or barrel, and pour boil
ing water over them, letting them, re
main in the water until the eyes are
scalded so they will not sprout; dry
the potatoes thoroughly iu the sun,
and put them away in a box or bar
rel iu a cool, dry place. This will
give good mealy potatoes all the time.
Little Savings. We heard once
of an agent for a missionary society
who obtained a generous subscription
from a business man whom he had
heard reproving one of his clerks for
using a whole wafer. The gentleman
told him that by small savings he ac
quired means for liberal charities. The
London I7i, according to Mr. For
ney, of tho Philadelphia l'rexs, a rare
faculty for saving in the same way.
He says :
Xothing is allowed to go to waste.
A-card is kept by the different press
men, and on it is marked the cause of
any spoiled sheet whether it was the
fiiult ofv the paper-market, feeder, or

the machinery is wiped arc counted,
and (hose who use them cannot receive
clean ones until they return the dirty
ones, lhe latter are then washed by
a washingmackine in the office, and it
is said that this simple little operation
saves yearly 4150, or near $300 in

We heard a laiighabloaneedotc of a
"man with a big foot." He was a

for u man with ns good a hold on the

small shop of a boot-maker in the
flourishing capital of old Erie, and
asked Crispcn if he could make him a
pair of Boots. Looking at his long
pedal extremities, and then glancim:
at a huge uncut cow hide that hung on
the wall, he said :
"Well, yes, I guess so." "What
timo will you have them done ? To

"Well, it'll depend on circumstances;
I guess I can have 'cm fur you by

the man called for his boots.

as ho entered the little shop.
"Xo, I havn't I couldn't, it has

On'E of tho (rood si'rns of Yirn-inin
is, the location of Xorthern fanners
within its bounds. Another is, that
this (act is greeted with congratula
tions in V lrgmia itself. A Jlieli
niond paper, of Monday, states, as an
agreeable item of information, that
within a week, between twenty and
thirty farms in different parts of the
State, have been sold to farmers from
thoXorth. This evidently indicates
the expectation, on the part of Xorth
ern men, that the reconstruction of the
Union will bo successfully completed,
and that in Virginia they will be able
to prosecute their plans of honest in-'
diistrv with advanta.ro and peace.
And those of the old inhabitants of
that Slate, who most wisely consider
their interests both personally and po
litically, will rejoice in seeing labor,
intelligence and wealth thus flowing
among them. Acidity of temper and
repulsive manners towards new and
valuable citizens, can have no other
c!lect than to aggravate, as well as pro
long, the calamitous-effects of tho war,
which, on the other hand, tho offices of
good neighborhood and friendship
will, with the advantages of climate
and soil, attract industry, intelligence
and wealth. Tho inducements to im
migration are numerous, and political
passions and prejudices never acted
more absurdly than in arraying them
selves in opposition to so valuable a
publiu benefit. It is gratifying, there
fore, to see such opposition giving
way.
